Usually, what happens:
- Your team is leading by a lot.
- Enemy team near-aces you, gains the advantage.
- Enemy team has lower respawn timers at this point.
- You'd need to form a coordinated attack and win a 4v4 to retake a point, or BD to peel the enemies off and go for one or the other then.
- Your team instead tries to finish it fast rushing to the points, getting picked off one by one maybe killing an opponent who's right back due to their reduced death timers.
- Your team is first relaxed, then in disbelief and finally demoralized, unable to play 100% for the entire duration of this chain of emotions.
- Enemy team rallies and pulls off the upset victory.

It's a fairly common occurrence. The map is designed to make those happen. It's specifically the reason the map stops losing points for anything but controlling majority at a point. It's designed to allow comebacks. You can bring opponent low with other stuff (note, killing creeps does NOT reduce enemy nexus points; it only gives you personal score) but finishing requires you to complete the map objective, that is to control the majority of the points.

This is why Dominion is never over until the last point is gone. I've seen over 400 point comebacks. Why? Because the winning team made mistakes, fell behind and played incoherently thinking their advantage allows them to play careless. Without systematic play, the low death timers are going to thwart your petty capture attempts.

If I lose like that, I look back at our team play, realize we had none and shrug. A team with high death timers can't afford to play carelessly. When you fall behind like that, you have to wait for all to respawn, group up and make a systematic push for a point. Your advantage gives you plenty of time, so don't rush things. Utilize your advantage to pad the attack and make the advantage count. You have enough gold advantage and probably half a level on your opponent at that point which should give you enough of an edge to win the fight.

If you were winning until then, you should be able to take one even fight when you're fully prepared for it (most teams will never understand to try this tho unless you spell it out the second they're down to under 10 and control 3). Unless your team is all early game while theirs is late and they just matured, in which case you're pretty ****ed and have to go for some serious map control shenanigans (lure 'em to traps in mid, backdoor with two, peel bot off, etc.) to have a chance.

Some comments are appreciated and valued for what they are and good info period. Stating I am raging because my team sucked is obviously stupid. If we sucked, we wouldn't have gotten them down to 1 and we wouldn't have been that far up, right?

Elealar, thanks. And that does make sense, versus suddenly one team becomes incompetent and the other somehow magically being good at the last minute. Nuff said. If it happens again I'll be careful to watch all these things to ensure I"m not just raging over a common instance.

As stated by others, once a team gets below 100 nexus health the team's nexus can only be damaged by contorlling more points than them on the map. This is to avoid the rage that can happen when you lose the game because someone else on your team died.

Wow this guy is retarded. After you reach 100 points on the Nexus, kills, or anything else that lowers Nexus HP, doesnt work, only controlling more points than them works.

You just can't handle the fact that they went down to 1 point, were able to control equal or more points than you to stop your point gain, and then even though you had a 300 point lead, your team got stomped and never controlled more points than they did again in the game. Blame yourself for not taking Top back or whatever, not Riot.

Working as intended. You are stupid.
